“There are many places to stay in Fort William. But you should really stay here.”

Reviewed 6 March 2016
for a stay in February 2016

Stayed here in February and had a great week. The house is first class, perfect for returning after a day in the hills (the steam/shower was very welcome). The view is wonderful and we even managed a short February BBQ on the loch side. Chris and Da are great hosts and gave us some great tips.The location is excellent Fort William is somewhat rundown, but it has everything you need and the surrounding landscape is stunning. We managed 2 days up high in the snow - Glencoe is 45 mins and Nevis Range about 10 minutes. I can recommend the train to Malaig (especially if you have Harry Potter fans with you) and the walk to the waterfalls.

At the risk of repeating everything else in the previous reviews this place is mint. February Half term, we skied and we looked out the windows and we had a really nice time. Friendly couple handy for the bright lights of Fort Bill and the train to Mallaig. It really is as good as it looks and nothing in this life ever is except oddly this. Book it or someone else will.

Liked best:Steam shower was fun but always being warm was better.

Liked least:It is on the main A road but to be honest you don't really see to hear it.

We booked in for Christmas having been wowed by the online photographs both of the property and views from it.

We had superb communication from Chris the owner from the first point of contact. His wife Da met us on arrival and was very warm and welcoming. My wife had forgotten her hairdryer and Da was more than happy to lend her one.

The house is new but not lacking in character. It has been beautifully designed and we spent plenty of time in each room playing games, watching films, reading and generally having fun.

The steam room inside in the double shower is excellent. I used this daily and the radio inside the shower is a nice added bonus.

The Open plan living is perfect for a couple with two children s we interchanged rooms depending on what we fancied doing. We did spend a lot of time inside due to the wet blustery weather but were never bored.

I can't say enough about this house as the photos say it all really. It's a great location, the prices are brilliant, the owners get the balance of interaction just right jd everything within the house is set up to make for the most relaxing holiday. It's a home away from home.

Directly across the road there is the beach on the loch. We spent lots of time with the children skimming stones here. You can also walk along the beach into town which takes bout twenty minutes. We would also run into town too as there is a suitable footpath.

Also, my wife would recommend Da's massages. A week on her body feels better than ever!

My girlfriend and I stayed here for almost a week and loved every minute. Both of us were 18 at the time of going and had the most brilliant of times. The home itself has stunning views and the bedroom has a huge TV with Netflix and dozens of channels if you're wanting to relax. When going out, the town of Fort William is very pretty and with the Nevis Range easily accessible, it makes for a very beautiful stay.

As soon as we arrived we knew we were onto a winning location! The view across the loch was simply stunning! The chalet itself is beautiful complete with all the mod cons! We loved being able to come back for a toasty steam after a walk! It's located literally a mile outside of the town centre so not only do you have the view but you're handy for all of the shops and a link to all the walks!Chris is a great host with a wealth of knowledge and is most welcoming.We would recommend this chalet in an instant and we can't wait to come back!

My husband and I stayed here at the end of November/beginning of December this year. The lodge is faultless and includes everything you could need for a comfortable, relaxing break. The surrounding views of the mountains are AMAZING! I'd highly recommend and would love to return in a slightly warmer climate!

Absolutely fabulous. We have just returned from four nights at the Moorings. The house was absolutely beautiful, perfect for a relaxing few days away. Plenty of space and excellent facilities for cooking and relaxing after a day walking or out and about.Easy 25 minutes walking distance from Fort William. We walked in to town almost every day during our stay, perfect location. Also easy to drive out to Glen Coe and other surrounding areas due to location on the main route to Fort William.Chris was a perfect host, accommodating but not pushy. Really helpful in pre-visit communication re: location, arrival time etc. Thoroughly recommend. We will likely return and we don't tend to go two places twice.
